Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I retired six years ago after working as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark for 25 years. I was married to Karen until she passed away in February 2021. I have a son Lee who is now 35 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s, especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. I am an enthusiastic fan of the New York Mets.

Can you keep away from Social Networking Sites for a Week?
What would you do without Facebook, Twitter, text messaging, a cell phone, or one of the multitude of Web 2.0 services that promote social networking for a week? None of these services were there in 1995 when I got my first PC at home. I guess we would talk more to people face to face and perhaps watch more TV and listen to the radio on AM or FM. I do the latter anyway. There was a story on ABC News tonight called Video Diaries of the "Social Experiment" where students from Shorecrest High School in Washington gave up these electronic services for a week. Check it out.
